Capital Safety has introduced the Rollgliss R550, a smaller, more lightweight escape solution ideal for wind turbines, cell phone towers, aerial lifts, cranes, and more. Offering fully automatic, hands-free descent, the Rollgliss R550 is made with lightweight, durable cast aluminum housing. It features integrated rope ears for greater descent speed control in assisted rescues and a dual braking system for added security and safety during automatic descent. The bi-directional hub design allows the rope to descend from either side, bringing one hook up as the other goes down so the system can be used immediately for multiple descents.
Rated for two-person loads—a total of 620 pounds—the Rollgliss R550 performs in a variety of situations, including an emergency descent or a full rescue using its built-in rescue hub. It is available in multiple rope length options and meets all applicable OSHA and ANSI industry standards.
Lift & Access is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
